Meetings - Billable/Un-billable?

We love time with our customers and face to face meetings are a great way to make sure we're on the pulse and meeting your expectations. If you need a quick meeting to discuss potential work, we might be able to provide this for free. However, if you're after more complex work, such as consultancy or planning a project, we would expect to charge appropriately.

Expenses

General UK Travel Expenses

The following travel charges apply for visits on the UK mainland unless agreed otherwise:

Distance	Travel Charge
Less than 10 miles	£10 + VAT
10 - 35 miles	£35 + VAT
35 - 80 miles	£85 + VAT
80 - 200 miles	£150 + VAT
200+ miles	£250 + VAT

Mileage

If travel is billed based on mileage instead of our usual charges, we charge £0.60 + VAT per mile. Here is a table with some typical call-out charges:

Flights or Alternative Transport

For visits more than 200 miles away or off of the UK mainland, we will charge appropriate transport costs to the customer as agreed prior to work being carried out. As a guide, we look to use comfortable and typically priced means of transport that minimise time spent travelling and avoid travelling at inconvenient times of the day where possible.

Out-of-Hours Travel Compensation

For visits more than 200 miles away or off of the UK mainland, we compensate our staff by paying each person £10 per hour when travelling to honour time spent away from home (and encourage us to minimise it). This is unashamedly charged to our customers, who we trust will benefit from our valuable services. We reserve the right to waive this charge at our discretion and when agreed with the persons affected.

Subsistence

For visits in the UK more than 80 miles away we charge the following to cover subsistence:

UK: £175 per night
Europe: £225 per night
Worldwide: £300 per night
